Yesterday Cooper got his braces on after three weeks of having spacers. Cooper has major issues with his mouth. He is EXTREMELY orally deffensive and has a very limited diet. He does not eat anything soft or mushy except ice cream. He would live on pizza, cereal (without milk on it of course!), and pretty much any kind of meat. He had a horrible time last night, he was having a very hard time eating and talking. He wasn't in pain, just having a hard time adjusting to the palate expander that he has to have. He has a small mouth and his orthodontist is trying to make it so he doesn't have to lose any permanent teeth during all of this orthodontic work. He will get his wire put on in 3-4 weeks, we have to adjust his expander every night for two weeks. I'm really hoping that things get better quickly. I hate seeing him upset because he just can't help it :( He will have the braces on a minimum of 2 and 1/2 years so this is going to be a long ordeal!
